Linux çekirdeğinin bulucusu. Dünyada bir çığır açacak bu işletim sisteminin çekirdeğini yazmaya tamamen spontane ve zevk amaçlı başlayan Linus Torvalds, çıkan ürünün sonunda şu anki haline varacağını bilmiyordu.
Kendisi aynı zamanda bin yılın teknoloji ödülünün de sahibi oldu.

linuxfoundation.org adlı sitede anasayfada gösterilen, Linuxun nasıl üretildiğini anlatan aşağıdaki kısa videoyu seyretmenizi öneririm.
Ayırca Wikipedia’daki Linus Torvalds içeriğine de bakmanızı önerebilirim.

Hello everybody out there using minix -
I’m doing a (free) operating system (just a hobby, won’t be big and
professional like gnu) for 386(486) AT clones. This has been brewing
since april, and is starting to get ready.I’d like any feedback on
things people like/dislike in minix, as my OS resembles it somewhat
(same physical layout of the file-system(due to practical reasons)
among other things). I’ve currently ported bash(1.08) and gcc(1.40),and
things seem to work.This implies that I’ll get something practical within a
few months, andI’d like to know what features most people would want. Any
suggestions are welcome, but I won’t promise I’ll implement them
Linus ([email protected])
PS. Yes – it’s free of any minix code, and it has a multi-threaded fs.
It is NOT protable (uses 386 task switching etc), and it probably never
will support anything other than AT-harddisks, as that’s
all I have :-(.
